I personally enjoy just hanging out with my boyfriend we don’t have to go anywhere or do anything fancy. Heck we could just play video games and that would be fine. As long as we see each other. I think it would be different if our relationship was based on just text messages and phone calls, it just wouldn’t be the same. I think if the guy/girl can’t just talk to you to your face(every once and a while) then its not worth your time. And hanging out with a group of friends is okay as long as its not all the time you know? Like im okay with hanging out with my boyfriend’s friends sometimes but I like our alone time to. I hope dating doesn’t become a thing of the past because personally I believe that is how you get to know people even better than you do. I mean you wouldn’t just want to hook up with someone and then them get pregnant and then you have like no choice but to put with the person. Unless you want to be a jerk. But thats not the point being in love means more than just wanting to hook up with them. We should stick to dating because then you could find out if he is the one for you!

In my past relationships, i have not had one that was based on phones and messages. But now things are spinning out of orbit and next thing you know people are textin geach other and never actually seeing this person.

Im in fact doing a paper an about this in my English 4. I myself believe that dating is becomig a thing of the past. I relly wish the courtships and stuff like that were still what we do today in order to date.

Dating isn’t a thing of the past but the concept has changed. I hangout with my significant other most days after school, we do whatever grab a bite and then homework and bed. On the weekends we are more likely to spend time in our ‘group’ of friends. We constantly hangout but we also go on dates, if we go to a movie or a nicer restaurant, or cooking for us is a date almost. We camp and go to the beach in the summer as little dates also.
I think that having constant contact with people drives people away from relationships. Face it, people want sex and other sexual relations. People don’t want to be hounded 24/7 by anyone. That’s why hook-ups are so popular, you don’t have to have someone down your back at all times.
I think people need to become a little more empathetic, remember that texting each other all the time violates our personal space.

Well I dont believe ”hanging out” is the new dating. Yea i understand that us as 13 year olds dont go out to fancy dinners, but we try to do our best to have a romantic dinner or on super romantic walks. The Pros and Cons of ”hanging out” in a big group are. That when your with your friends they just look at you and sometimes its annoying. Also with friends around you are sometimes pressured to do something like hold hands. Tagging along is okay if you dont do it every single time they go somewhere, it can get annoying and you might get dumped.

I do beleave that hanging out is the new dating, you dont see people going out to fancy dinners or going out to see romantic movies as a couple. Maybe there are some people that do that, but not very much anymore.

It’s hard to “go somewhere” when neither party has cars. Disposable income is scarce, many people are either in school to advance their careers or holding down multiple jobs. Oh course the author chooses to blame the personality quarks of millennials rather than doing actual analysis.

But in a way we still date, we just date in a different way. Spending 3 hours “hanging out” and talking with someone can be just as sentimental as going to the movies and then parting ways.
